@NFL_DovKleiman Too bad whoever filed this didn’t chase Jerry down to see what happened.

@suzamaroo @adamcurry this is the basic line of reasoning that makes me pause. The suspension of disbelief needed to argue against Jimmy hearkens back to the Occam’s Razor comment from the last episode.

@MorganLfei_XIV @deadbats2024 Oh nooooo! He was late??

@Frank920214 @RepThomasMassie Who cares what his reason is if you agree with the end result?

Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry? First, click here to agree to terms you don’t have time to read and must accept. You need an account to do that. Change your temporary password. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email and enter that code. Now use a passkey. Your password is too simple to remember. Change it. No, not like that. Now log on. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email for a code… Welcome back! We’ve updated our terms of service and privacy policy (you have none). Subscribe to the site. Subscribe to Netflix. Subscribe to toilet paper. Subscribe to these groceries. Pay a membership fee for the right to subscribe then tip your driver who delivers the subscriptions your membership lets you subscribe to. Time to work? We’ve got to update your laptop and will slow down everything you do until you agree to update. But first, click here to agree. Update installed — your laptop’s broken now. It doesn’t matter, since your boss just replaced you with AI. Go to your phone to complain on social media. Wait, your phone needs an update so we can add more AI. Click here. Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area. In your neighborhood. On your street. Two doors down from you. Do you know this person yet, we think you’d get along. You need an account to use this app. That username is taken. Enter a password. Not that one, you used it on another site. You need to be connected to WiFi to download the app. Allow the app to connect to other devices on your network. Allow the app to access your contacts, know your precise location, store your credit card details. Oops, sorry, we got hacked now all that info is available on the web. There’s a class action suit. You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

@AMAZlNGNATURE Tragically all were lost when this lioness was misgendered and turned quickly on the unsuspecting group of tourists.

@Spotify I'm one of the tens of thousands of customers who's accounts are broken and have zero Daily Mix updates. Your support site blames customers for the issue and implies they've done something wrong. Please fix your systems and stop blaming us.

[Andy McCraw @MoveUpMedia]

@scrowder are you on a break? Can’t find any updates on any of your socials, sites or channels.

[Andy McCraw @MoveUpMedia]

@Joshua_Ariza You're not wrong.

[Disney Parks @DisneyParks]

Big news! Starting next year, fans at home and Disney Resort hotel guests at @WaltDisneyWorld will be able to use an @Amazon Echo device to interact with some of their favorite characters just by saying…“Hey, Disney!” Find out more: https://t.co/yZXa0hjT3f

@Joshua_Ariza Their bot needs some tuning...or maybe it's perfect?

[Andy McCraw @MoveUpMedia]

@Joshua_Ariza @JedBridges Turns out we made a few devices that have screens. ;)

[Andy McCraw @MoveUpMedia]

@TwitterMktg @UberEats @alexa99 Alexa, FTW!

[Andy McCraw @MoveUpMedia]

@MojangSupport with the recent update we can’t play multiplayer split screen on PS4 anymore. It requires additional login to PS+ accounts. This was never the case before.

@AdamCarollaShow enjoy a ton of Christmas parody songs I've done with friends over the year (e.g. "Sleigh Oddity" instead of Bowie's "Space Oddity") https://t.co/zcm9iM80R3

[Andy McCraw @MoveUpMedia]

@AdamCarollaShow knowing your love for parody tunes I figured you’d enjoy this one I did years ago (Bowie’s “Space Oddity”) https://t.co/TKzpd53ik5

Cubs fans do NOT like Justin Turner.

Spent so much time this week on planning for 2018 work that I legit forgot what year it was currently.
